How to fix?

Upgrade grpc to version 1.53.2, 1.54.3, 1.55.3, 1.56.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception due to the lack of error handling in the TCP server. An attacker can cause a denial of service by initiating a significant number of connections with the server.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the server is running on posix-compatible platforms such as Linux.
